Senate Republicans Peddle “Notorious ACB” Shirts

Mediaite reports:

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), the organization that helps fundraise to elect Republicans to the United States Senate, posted a fundraising tweet in the moments after Amy Coney Barrett‘s nomination to the Supreme Court that immediately drew harshly critical reactions for attempting to co-opt Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg‘s legacy.

At 5:07 pm ET, and then again at 5:12 pm ET, the organization posted tweets promoting a T-shirt featuring a “limited edition” T-shirt with Barrett shown wearing a crown and the slogan “Notorious A.C.B.” Clicking the link goes to an NRSC fundraising website, which offers the shirt for any donation of $25 or more.

? LIMITED EDITION: Show your support for Pres. Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, with your very own Notorious A.C.B. t-shirt! Claim yours here ⬇️https://t.co/qi1eWqTz17

this is obscenely disrespectful and will backfire on the @GOP in the 2020 election– I am a lifelong registered republican voting straight blue ticket. GOP is a corrupt party of hypocrites and Russian leaning politicians

I feel sorry for you. Nobody with a moral compass would do something like this.

RIP, RBG. You deserve better.
